Did I get a bad tiler? Please help

[craigmmorq4]

Because I didnt notice until he left - He said ok its done bye!! it took him 1 hour and a half. Dont think he used spacers and theres other little problems with the tiles too which I can live with!

 

[craigmmorq4]

By the looks of his email he wants me to pay for the smashed tiles!

You didnt notice tiles missing ?

 

[craigmmorq4]

I had to order 6 more tiles and hes coming back to finish that wall off.

I wouldnt dream of taking payment before the job was finished. I always ask the client to inspect the work before I leave.
I guess you paid cash too ? Invoice ?

 

[craigmmorq4]

I didnt think anything of it as only 6 more tiles to put on.
Yeah cash. Yeah I got an invoice via email which I still have on my email.

if it was me i would ask him to take it all of and do it properly the job he has done is substandard and yes i would be asking him to pay for the new tiles.

 

[Gazzer]

Personally I dont think you will see him again.

 

[craigmmorq4]

Could it be the walls in my house? If so even if it was the walls I would expect him to let me know about it and an experienced tiler should be able to get around un even walls I think!

I've got his address, landline & mobile - He's also part of County Durham Registered Trader Scheme

yep, you cant expect to pay him to do a job and then splash out on more tiles just so you can repay him to fix his own mess..

6 tiles? so you are not going to tile to the top?

 

[craigmmorq4]

Yeah the 6 tiles I had to order are to finish off that wall to the top. But it looks like I need another 10 tiles to replace his mess.

What do people suggest I do? Email him nicely asking if he will pay for the tiles?
